isolated attack this is a message really from the group saying that you may have beaten us into law for in mosul you may have surrounded us in the last remaining stronghold but we all still able to attack you in places that you wouldn't expect so now that's a real challenge for the iraqis do they move troops to the south or do they continue their battle up in and trying to take them out there now whilst all of this is going on the still political machinations occurring here in erbil in the last few hours brett mcgurk the special representative to the the u.s. special representative to the anti eisel coalition has been speaking he's been speaking about the referendum for the kurdish independence which is due to take place on the twenty fifth of september he says that they don't want the referendum to go ahead and he's presented a plan from the u.k. the u.s. and the u.n. to present must suit was on it is only really one country in the world that wants to see this referendum go ahead it's israel everybody else would like to see this

quickly ripped through the entire building. by one of the interior of the building is one hundred percent destroyed the mattresses books and all other things in the very damaged but the cause of the fire is still unclear we're still investigating it would have been difficult for the boys to escape as the rooms had barred windows and the fire blocked the only exit i could think scape through the window we dismantled the window grip opened the window and clung don't know the part we force a window grill open at the time we couldn't think much of a fire department representative says their bodies were found on top of one another suggesting there was a stampede to try and get out the fire chief says the school should have had to fire escapes but it appears the building codes were not properly followed the initial investigation. issued by local government and also by departments across investigation.

government has. preferred to certain choices in terms of their presence on the ground and so forth this was before this big emergency i think that now that the emergency requires a very urgent response his presence could be scaled up very quickly we've had already an airlift of goods from the emirates other organizations are also sending goods and i think that we're going to see. very quickly. reports from. international. very still.

comments at a news conference with his u.s. counterpart rex tillerson in london libya north korea and iran dominating the agenda the talks as john holmes reports but a busy day of diplomacy here in london the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson in town and strong words on both iran and north korea talks began early in the morning with a visit to ten downing street to resume a the prime minister affirming the u.k.'s belief in the importance of the nuclear deal that iran struck with world powers as the best way of assuring that iran does not achieve nuclear weapons will rex tillerson in a press conference later was a little more circumspect about that he said that the nuclear deal was still under review by the trumpet ministration that you had to take into account the totality of threats posed by iran in terms of its adherence to the full spirit of that deal and that as long as for instance it continued to support bashar assad in syria will

that make it rise to questions about its head here and to the spirit of the deal this is what boris johnson the u.k. foreign secretary had to say about that. the iranians have got to behave and fulfill their side of the bargain and they've got to stop being a venturesome expansionist and causing trouble in the region whether it's in yemen or syria or anywhere else and on north korea the talk was about boosting pressure on pyongyang following on from those un security council sanctions the eight set of sanctions imposed on the country the strongest sanctions ever imposed on any country according to boris johnson how to implement them importantly how to bring china in to encourage china to do more there was none of the fire and fury rhetoric that we've heard from the trumpet ministration in the past this was a call towards engagement towards dialogue. along with representatives from france

we had a very substantial meeting to discuss how to increase that diplomatic and economic pressure on the d.p. r. k. and also how we can work together to relate messages to the regime in north korea that we need to stand down your program and engage in dialogue to find a way to a peaceful resolution a senior russian negotiator says his country together with turkey and iran is close to finalizing an agreement on deescalation zones in syria but discussing the details at a meeting in kazakstan capital a stunna is the sixth round of talks aimed at ending more than six years of civil war representatives of the syrian government and opposition groups are at the talks . with the two of them that's the way i want to say that the main task of this international meeting on syria is to finalize and create always ends of deescalation to draw a line under all the work which has been done during the last four to five months

since the memorandum creating deescalation zones and signed on the fourth of may. charles johnson has more from us on. certainly a positive tone at the end of the first day of talks here in a star from the head of the russian delegation president putin special representative to syria alexander love reactive saying he wanted to draw a line by the end of the top saying under this plan the full of the four deescalation zones inside syria a plan that was signed by russia turkey and iran in may he said a lot of the focus of the talks today has been with respect to who could potentially monitor these areas he said that he presumed there would be a role for the iranians the turks and the russians in monitoring these areas and this flies in the face of what the opposition of thus far said demanding zero a role for any rain in forces on the ground in those areas is also so lever and ships a this been a lot of focus on the province of labor which is included in this deescalation zone

a plan problems there because a lot of the groups the opposition groups there are deemed to be terrorist organizations affiliated with al qaida. that's what the international community says it it's also what the syrian government says meaning that these rebel groups could well be viable targets and there are concerns of course for the hundreds of thousands of civilians that have fled to this area looking for security we also spoke to a member of the opposition delegation a source there who said that he was quietly confident that the opposition delegation could well sign at this agreement on the full day escalation zones by the end of tomorrow and that's when these talks are scheduled to end. emir of qatar has been holding talks with the turkish president in ankara it's his first a foreign trip since the blockade of qatar by other gulf states began in june

turkey has shown solidarity with qatar by sending it food and other supplies and boosting military ties. coming up when i was there the. point dependence is making life harder for bob you did as it faces the enormous task of rebuilding ought to harken. concern in europe as russia stages a major war games exercise with better rumors. and the elements get the better of the final women's go for major of the season details coming up and spoke. yesterday when donald trump has denied reports of a deal to protect undocumented young immigrants known as dream is democrats announced an agreement had been reached to protect nearly eight hundred thousand young immigrants under a program the president said last week he would scrap trump and said no deal would be finalized but agreement was close and it must include

a provision for border security. workers that were. subject to getting sent to the border but they were given the background warmer than average your results would be. rewarding years old for the work you have of where you got to go what we're going to get the borders secured for that was exactly what it was. going to be how could joins us live from the white house security where are we now in this issue is that progress to want to do. it's really changed by the our lord the question we've been trying to answer all day deal or no deal and it's been difficult to come up with an answer to that what we've seen essential as the president vacillating on his position depending on the hour as you point out the democrats came here to the white house on wednesday evening the democratic leadership and they sent out a press release saying that there had been

a deal to put in the works legislation to help those who came to the united states as children now adults. they were brought here illegally by their parents from central america eight hundred thousand of them two to live and to work that status though remains in doubt because as you heard there the president saying that he was optimistic there was a deal that on twitter he was saying there is no deal and then after landing in florida a few hours after those comments you played just a moment ago the president seemed to put any deal further in doubt by saying there is no deal on doctor or deferred action on childhood arrivals until there is funding for his border wall a key campaign promise so what really the upshot of all of this is is it appears that there may have been this spirit of creating a deal of about twelve to eighteen hours ago but now that is very much in doubt and can really want to members of his own party think well i think this has a lot to do with that lauren the fact that conservatives are furious and saying and

accusing the president for the most part of the far right conservatives at least saying the president's granting amnesty rewarding illegal behavior but to even those establishment republicans are moderate members of the party are not too pleased that they were not included in this so-called deal making process we heard from the top republican in the house of representatives paul ryan who in fact said that there will be no deal or any sort of legislation without the majority in congress well that's members of the president's own republican party so the bottom line is those who are looking for some sort of assurance from their congressional leaders or even the president in terms of dhaka moving forward have not got that assurance as he was no more clear than it was twenty four hours ago can really help it thank you very much indeed. president trump has just left florida after his third visit to a hurrican damaged state in less than three weeks before leaving the president first lady and vice president headed up sandwiches and bananas to people living in

a mobile home community affected by the hurrican more than one hundred nursing home residents in florida have been relocated and thousands more are being monitored in an effort to protect older residents who follows the deaths of eight people at a rehabilitation center which lost power because of the storm. islands in the caribbean took the brunt of this fury some like the british and american virgin islands a territories which we can rely on financial assistance from larger wealthier countries to help them rebuild but for independent islands like recovery will be much more difficult as your home explains. prime minister gaston brown has brought other caribbean leaders to see what's left of the island. it was hit with the maximum force of hurricane brown says help is urgently needed by me that today is what i considered to be a mangled wreck in order to restore it in order to rebuild and to ensure that we can relocate babbit in syria it will take any norma's of out of resources.

electricity phone lines of people's homes at damaged or gone the situation so precarious the entire populations been evacuated which emerged unscathed brown who is prime minister of both islands says it will take more than two hundred million dollars to bring bob puter back to life. the government's trying to take the positives out of the fact that more than ninety percent of buildings here damaged they want to implement an ambitious rebuilding program with high construction standards to guard against future hurricanes and one hundred percent green energy for the island the problem with that is cash they say they don't have anywhere near enough while other island nations devastated by the hurricane like martin and the virgin islands belong to receive help from developed countries doesn't have that support those islands are dependent territories they have

a mother countries to assist they have britain they have the netherlands france and a case of and again a small independent country with very limited resources civil engineers have started work anyway assessing the damage house by house they're optimistic about the possibilities how long do you think three build all of these. depends and if i look depends india i believe within twelve months. most of it could be that. not just homes but also jobs have been lost fisherman's boats line broods. really earned a living from his taxi that's gone now well right now i'm feeling it very very hard because what happened since that. has been this is the we don't bust in right now and there's not much i can do right now until. i don't know

how soon we going to get back to back you would. that's the question or the bar putin is living in government shelters with relatives in antigua are asking the prime minister says hopefully in a few months but even then the rebuilding could take years john home and how does it bob you don't. catalan separatists have kicked off campaigning ahead of an independence referendum on october the first the county launching the yes campaign at a bull ring in tarragona despite organizers being warned the gathering was illegal the separatists say if they win the referendum they'll declare independence from spain within days spain's central government says the referendum is illegal and must not go ahead. russia has started a major war games with bell routes causing concern among its western neighbors these pictures from russian television show troops somewhere in belarus russia says five and a half thousand troops are taking part together with just over seven thousand and

emissions well there is still new estimates moscow could have sent up to one hundred thousand soldiers some nato members of the alliance have questioned his intentions. anyone and that they've deliberately chosen bases far away from the borders with ukraine poland lithuania and that here. talk more about this i'm joined now by an exposure of he's a risk analyst focusing on russia for the firm i.h.s. market by sort of coming into. thank you was this exercise different from previous russian military exercises well on paper it is much smaller. but if the stone in estimates are correct it could be the largest exercise in the end of the cold war and then the concern from the neighbors is that there was an exercise that was large before the invasion of crimea and they worried that something similar might happen yes there are concerns because the russian incursion into georgia in two thousand and eight and then into crimea in twenty fourteen where preceded by large

scale military exercises in the south of russia so now there are similar concerns in the baltic states in poland and what they use it is the idea that they would use it as a cover to move troops to a particular area and then have them handy for what actually yes or if russian troops stay in by the roots and russia demands military bases in belarus which is an allied country to russia politically militarily the relationship has been quite difficult lately and so nato has expressed its concern and there's a kind of question mark over the numbers of the number of troops is is is significant because there are kind of agreements that would say that if that goes beyond a certain number of troops then you get some people get to monitor it. and in this case they're not saying that they're going about them than those numbers so there aren't any monitors and that's what we know what nato is worried about votes correct the official numbers thirteen thousand troops which would require additional international monitors under the sea. rules but the official number

which was disclosed by russia was twelve thousand seven hundred so just below but probably the actual figure will be higher and so if i should does go over those limits what does the west do you mean is are there sanctions or not no no this would lead to sanctions we think the exercise is primarily aimed to demonstrate the russian military capabilities and to intimidate the neighbors we don't think that this will lead to an invasion for various reasons russia is fully aware of potential of the conflict becoming much large. joe. baltic states and poland i need to after all and you know you have to remember that next year russia will be hosting the world cup. in the summer and we did not expect that russia will be will be trying to undermine that and just talk us through how these things work they come up with a car fictional country that i mean that's pretty standard procedure ladies and it is sometimes actually lost last time around in twenty thirteen when a similar exercise was held there was

a scenario of conflict between two states this time around there is a scenario of a conflict between the separatists states within by the roots which is supported by fictional states which are where poland in lithuania and russia on the one hand and russia and belarus on the other hand so it's very much kind of you know separate events in a rather than full scale interstate war and exposure of thank you very much indeed dr thank you. just want to comment on this news hour including some imus question whether their concerns will be listened to as the inquiry begins into a devastating time in london. because senior spacecraft turns back it's not images or satin before it ends its twenty year mission by diving into a planet. and it's for a new winning record in major league baseball. the

will provide answers to the pressing questions of our desires through this kind could occur twenty first century london. and provide a small measure of solace. from the so martin more be equal investigate the specifics how the fire started how it spreads how the emergency services responded but also the background did the refurbishment of the tower make it more dangerous where safety regulations observed how did the local and national governments react after the fire no one in this part of london can forget what happened how could they with this reminder looming about them so martin will be will face a great deal of suspicion from the community here many people feel he is too much part of the british establishment and they wanted an inquiry with a broader remit that would have looked at questions of social housing even wealth

inequality in london. at a neighboring church a special screening of the opening of the inquiry it's going to be long it's not going to be a short short. process but yes i'm glad i'm starting to feel. very fast. we have our forces heard see the justice we want to martin will pick has disappointed residents by not including advisors who represent the local community he says he has to be impartial but he offered words of reassurance. a common goal we are all searching after the truth about the cause of the fire and the massive loss of life because. of those who died and to those whose homes have been destroyed to work together to achieve that goal the inquiry has no power to punish or compensate there are likely to be

separate criminal trials to do that establishing the truth won't console everyone it might just prevent similar disasters in the future be phillips al jazeera in west london. zimbabwe's bring in new voter register ahead of next year's presidential and parliamentary elections biometric technology will be used for the first time but some people say it will increase the chance of vote rigging reports from harare. president robert mugabe's fingerprints and personal details are captured and stored voter registration equipment the commission is compiling a new vote israel using the new technology the old manually compiled register dating back to nine hundred eighty would not be used next year is the first time by major technology is being used to register voters. to read. the numbers we have. to.

over more of their business to black south africans but the new rules are on hold after they were challenged by the country's powerful mining industry body tanya page reports. gold was the backbone of south africa's economy for decades since the end of apartheid blacks had gained a foothold in the industry through government policies meant to share the country's mineral wealth but a revised mining charter that will force mining companies to ensure thirty percent of their business is owned by black south africans has prompted a scathing criticism from some is still logical it's unethical it's immoral it's unconstitutional you don't have to read two paragraphs on the first page to say this is insane it's not workable it's not going to benefit anybody the revised charter increases the proportion of black ownership from twenty six to thirty percent it also makes that requirement continuous so if

a black owner sold there she is the mining company would have to give more of their business away to ensure its still mitt the thirty percent black ownership role the chamber of mines which represents most of the industry has just won a promise from the government that it won't implement the changes until the high court makes a ruling on its legality the industry is warning the charter is already putting investors off and costing jobs like that of timber into lee he's still putting his skills to use after being laid off but he says he can't get another job is very very bad because. i've been out. of mine because of. it. but unfortunately i didn't get that you know the charter is part of the government's plan to implement what it calls radical economic transformation timber may have paid the price for the uncertainty and cost cutting in the industry but in

the long term the government says its new mining charter will benefit more black south africans because they'll have a bigger stake in the industry that's disputed by critics who argue only a few wealthy black south africans will benefit the mining industry says increasing inequality is not its fault and so it seems to be winning the argument in court tunney a page out of their rustenburg a south africa. the brazilian government has taken another hit to its credibility with police raiding the home of the agriculture minister as part of a corruption investigation allegations against blair imagine relate to his time as state governor is accused of bribing nor makers in exchange for political support but denies any wrongdoing because it was president show tamar and former president lula da silva also being investigated in separate corruption cases. the venezuelan opposition says there'll be no new talks to resolve the country's political and economic turmoil unless the government meets its demands the dominican republic is currently trying to mediate between both sides but the opposition wants guarantees

for a presidential election next year and the delivery of humanitarian aid meanwhile controversy surrounds the madeira government's new plan to relieve food shortages as delivered rabbits to some of the country's poorest saying too many people kicked kept the rabbits as pets instead of eating and fitness the our position has labeled a joke. that our spending twenty years exploring saturn and its moons the cassini space mission is coming to an end nasa is preparing to destroy the spacecraft by sending it plunging into saturn's atmosphere when a smith looks at what its achieved over the years free to. see the spacecraft what it took to see me seven years flying through space to reach saturn as it settled into war but around the ringed planet cassini launched the hoary guns lander onto the surface of titan suddens biggest moon. over thirteen years the mission has sent back spectacular images from the other side of the solar

system it will feel in some sense like a death in the family you know something you've devoted your life to for twenty seven years and then it will be gone. but certainly i will feel triumphant because it is been a magnificent and profoundly successful exploration and i'm so proud to have been a part of it covered in snow and ice this is another such moon and solid us it has powerful ice blasting gazes and here scientists believe there's water and so a chance to look for traces of life and on titan cassini revealed a climate similar to primordial earth it's why cassini can land on saturn it may still carry microbes some earth but could affect an alien ecosystem because of the importance of in solid us that cassini has shown us and of titan

another potential world that could be habitable for life perhaps not like we know it but perhaps completely different than ours. we had to make decisions on how to dispose of the spacecraft. and that led us inevitably to the plan of taking cassini and plunging it in to saturn. so after the last of twenty two fowle dives between saturn's rings and surface because seaney will fly into the planet's burning atmosphere. burn it smith al-jazeera. more on this i'm joined by dr david clements an astrophysicist from imperial college london thanks very much for coming in so it's been a really long mission isn't it what for you have been the highlights of this because you well from my point of view the highlight has been the unexpected discovery of the water gazes on the enceladus which demonstrate that there's liquid

water underneath the icy surface and who knows what's in that liquid ocean and in terms of how the mission involved it did it start off with i mean it's kind of extended it was through the why it was extended and how that happened well it was extended the original mission length was about four years that's been extended and extended because the expendables the thing that limits the lifetime of the mission which predominantly is the fuel for the rocket so it can change course as it goes around saturn that's now coming to an end. but the original mission was only four years and there was still plentiful rocket fuel at the end of the hour to be able to bring the mission on and on for much longer periods looking at how saturn and the saturn system changes as it orbits around the sun and from on that basis what do you think you've learned from from what the information you got back was a lot more extensive observations that you can do over a longer period of time you can look at some of the the more obscure moons for

example. you could look in more detail of various things like the rings and also of course the saturn's atmosphere itself the two spectacular moons which are titan enceladus and what about the way they're going to end this at how significant is it that they're going to the kind of the method of ending the mission well sensible disposal try to be tidy when we explore the universe and clear up our rubbish afterwards rather than leaving cassini is a piece of floating debris which could go anywhere. and so by smashing it into well it's not really a smash it to burn because saturn is huge atmosphere so. burn up in the atmosphere rather than he hit anything solid but that will dispose of everything on cassini anything any hitchhiking microbes that mayor of being collected before launch. in a clean and very destructive manner so there will be no nothing will survive from it

and we don't want to pollute the space environment with hitchhikers from home so when people in the future might land on titan or we might send a probe into the oceans and solid us we don't want to find their something that we brought there originally on cassini and just in terms of what they are that there's that kind of weird lag is an exit takes a long time for the mission to information to come back and there were that situation where actually it's already happened but you're still getting information back from it yes because you have that well it takes a while for light to travel light travels at a finite speed saturn so far away it takes several minutes many minutes for the signal to get back to earth so cassini will be gone but like an echo the final data from cosine the final signals as it goes into suttons atmosphere will still be travelling towards us and still be being received long after it's gone so should have planets thank you very much and it's going to torture us like you. space x. . posted a story
